  2. Shareholders that (a) have travelled, and have been in close contact with any person who has travelled, outside of Hong Kong (as per guidelines issued by the Hong Kong Government at www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102742.html) at any time in the preceding fourteen (14) days; (b) are, and have been, in close contact with any person who is, subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed compulsory quarantine (including home quarantine); (c) are, and have been, in close contact with anyone who has, contracted COVID-19, has been tested preliminarily positive of COVID-19 or is suspected of contracting COVID-19; or (d) have any flu-like symptoms, will be denied entry into or be required to leave the AGM venue.
  3. All Shareholders, proxies and other attendees are required to wear surgical face masks inside the AGM venue at all times. No mask will be provided at the AGM venue and attendees should bring their own masks. The Company will maintain a safe distance between seats. Attendees must follow the Company's instruction when taking a seat. Any person who does not comply with this requirement will be denied entry into or be required to leave the AGM venue.

To the extent permitted under the laws of Hong Kong, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the AGM venue or require any person to leave the AGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the AGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders' health and safety and to be consistent with recent COVID-19 guidelines for prevention and control, the Company reminds all Shareholders that attendance in person at the AGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative to attending the AGM in person, Shareholders are encouraged to consider appointing the chairman of the AGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the AGM by submitting forms of proxy with voting instructions inserted.

The form of proxy is attached to this circular for Shareholders who opt to receive printed copies of the Company's corporate communications. Alternatively, the form of proxy can be downloaded from the Company's website at http://www.hk-alpha.com and the website of the Stock Exchange at http://www.hkexnews.hk.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to bye-law 83(2) of the Bye-laws, the Directors shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or, subject to authorisation by the members of the Company in general meeting, as an addition to the existing Board. Any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the first general meeting of members of the Company after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting and any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election.

A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

The ordinary resolution no. 4 will be proposed at the AGM to grant to the Directors the Repurchase Mandate, details of which are set out in the notice of AGM. The Shares may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution no. 4. The Repurchase Mandate shall be exercisable during the period from the date of passing of the said ordinary resolution until whichever is the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-laws or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the date on which the authority set out in the said ordinary resolution is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

An explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules, containing all relevant information relating to the Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix II to this circular. The explanatory statement provides information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision in relation to the ordinary resolution no. 4.

4. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

At the AGM, the ordinary resolution no. 5 will be proposed to grant to the Directors the Issue Mandate. In addition, the ordinary resolution no. 6 will be proposed to authorise an extension of the Issue Mandate by adding to the aggregate number of Shares which may be allotted or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be allotted by the Directors pursuant to the Issue Mandate the number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate, if granted.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 314,360,383. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution no. 5 set out in the notice of AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 62,872,076 Shares, representing not more than 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the said ordinary resolution.

The Issue Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate shall be exercisable during the period from the date of passing of the ordinary resolution nos. 5 and 6 until whichever is the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-laws or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the date on which the authority set out in the said ordinary resolution(s) is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution or ordinary resolutions of the Shareholders in general meeting.

Details of the Issue Mandate and the extension of the Issue Mandate are set out in the notice of AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

5. ADOPTION OF SHARE OPTION SCHEME

At the AGM, the ordinary resolution no. 7 will be proposed to adopt the Share Option Scheme.

The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to incentivise and reward Participants who have contributed to the Group and to encourage Participants to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and its Shares for the benefit of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The Board considers that the Share Option Scheme will incentivise more persons to contribute positively to the Group, and facilitate the retention and the recruitment of high-calibre staff of the Group.

The Board believes that the inclusion of persons other than the employees, shareholders and directors of the Group as Participants is appropriate given that the success of the Group requires the cooperation and contribution not only from the employees, shareholders and directors of the Group but also from persons who play a role in the business of the Group, such as advisers and consultants of the Group. For the better development of the Group, it is important that the Group is able to maintain good relationship with its business partners. Having a share option scheme in place is one of the means to attract and retain those persons who contribute to the continuous development of the Group, so that they have an incentive to render improved services and/or patronage to the Group on a long-term basis. The Board also believes it is in the interest of the Group by giving incentive to a broader category of Participants (other than the employees, shareholders and directors) such as consultants and advisers to participate in the growth of, and contribute to the Group in the form of Options, as the Participants will share common interests and objectives with the Group upon their exercise of the Options.

The eligibility of those parties other than employees, shareholders and directors of the Group will be determined by the Board according to their potential and/or actual contribution to the business affairs of and benefits to the Group. In addition, the adoption of the Share Option Scheme is in line with modern commercial practice that full-time or part-time employees, directors, management, consultants and advisers be given incentives to work towards enhancing the value and attaining the long-term objectives of the Company and for the benefit of the Group as a whole. As such, the Directors consider that the adoption of the Share Option Scheme is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The shares to be issued upon an exercise of the Options granted under the Share Option Scheme will be the Shares.

The Company's share option scheme had expired on 10 February 2020 and there were no outstanding share options as at the Latest Practicable Date. There were no other share option schemes put in place by the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The proposed Share Option Scheme is subject to and conditional upon:

  1. the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve and adopt the Share Option Scheme by the Shareholders in a general meeting (with any persons required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules so abstaining) and to authorise the Directors to grant Options under the Share Option Scheme and to allot and issue the Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Options; and
  2. the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options granted under the Share Option Scheme.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 314,360,383, all of which are listed and traded on the Stock Exchange. Assuming that there is no change in the total number of Shares in issue between the Latest Practicable Date and the Adoption Date, the total number of Shares issuable pursuant to the Share Option Scheme will be 31,436,038 Shares, unless the Company obtains an approval from the Shareholders to refresh the 10% limit on the basis that the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding share options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other option schemes of the Company shall not exceed 30% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no immediate plan to grant any Options to any Participants under the Share Option Scheme.

The Share Option Scheme provides that in granting Options under the Share Option Scheme, the Company may specify a minimum holding period and performance conditions or targets which must be achieved before Options can be exercised by the Option holders. In addition, the basis for the determination of the exercise price of the Options has been set out in the Share Option Scheme. The Board considers that the aforesaid criteria and the terms of the Share Option Scheme will serve to preserve the value of the Company and encourage Option holders to acquire proprietary interests in the Company.

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors consider that it is not appropriate to state the value of the Options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted as at the Latest Practicable Date, as a number of variables which are crucial for the calculation of the value of the Options have not been determined. Such variables include the exercise price, exercise period, lock-up period (if any), performance target (if any) and other relevant variables such as the lapse or cancellation of Options prior to the expiry of their respective exercise periods on the happening of certain events as specified in the Share Option Scheme which are not predictable or controllable by the Directors. The Directors believe that any calculation of the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date would be based on a great number of speculative assumptions and would therefore not be meaningful and could be misleading to the Shareholders.

There is no trustee regime under the Share Option Scheme. As such, none of the Directors are trustees of the Share Option Scheme or have any direct or indirect interest in the trustees.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquires, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution in respect of the adoption of the Share Option Scheme under the Listing Rules.

A summary of the principal terms of the Share Option Scheme is set out in Appendix III to this circular. A copy of the Share Option Scheme will be available for inspection at the Company's principal office and principal place of business in Hong Kong at Room 1902, 19th Floor, Allied Kajima Building, 138 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong at normal business hours from the date of this circular and up to the date of the AGM and at the AGM.

The Share Option Scheme complies with the requirements under Chapter 17 of the Listing

Rules.

6. AGM

A notice convening the AGM is set out on pages 36 to 41 of this circular. For the purpose of ascertaining Shareholders' right to attend and vote at the AGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Thursday, 3 September 2020 to Tuesday, 8 September 2020, both days inclusive, during which no transfer of Shares will be registered. In order to be eligible to attend and vote at the AGM, all transfer documents accompanied by the relevant Share certificate(s) must be lodged with the Company's share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 2 September 2020.

Whether or not you are able to attend the meeting, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company's share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish and in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

7. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the re-election of Directors, the granting of the Repurchase Mandate, the Issue Mandate and its extension, and the adoption of the Share Option Scheme are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend all Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions at the AGM.

8. VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. In compliance with the Listing Rules and pursuant to the Bye-laws, the votes at the AGM will be taken by poll, the results of which will be announced after the AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

9. RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This explanatory statement contains the information required to be sent to Shareholders pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules concerning the repurchase of its own Shares by the Company.

1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The total number of Shares which the Company is authorised to repurchase its Shares representing a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued Shares at the date of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate. Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 314,360,383 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, would result in a maximum of 31,436,038 Shares (which are fully paid and represent 10% of the total number of Shares in issue) being repurchased by the Company during the period prior to the earliest of:

  1. the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or
  2. the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-laws and applicable laws and regulations of Bermuda to be held; or
  3. the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company.

2. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

Although the Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares, the Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Repurchase of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share.

- 20 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

At repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company, the Bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium (if any) payable on a repurchase may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company's share premium account before the Shares are repurchased.

4. IMPACT ON THE COMPANY

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as appropriate) (as compared with the position disclosed in its most recent published audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2020) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on its gearing position (as appropriate) which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. DISCLOSURE OF INTEREST

None of the Directors to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

6. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

- 21 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

7. EFFECT ON TAKEOVERS CODE

If the proportionate interest of a Shareholder in the voting rights of the Company increases on exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders' interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Alpha Development held 177,965,114 Shares, representing approximately 56.61% of the total number of issued Shares. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full and assuming that there was no change in the number of Shares held by Alpha Development and there was no other change to the total number of issued Shares, the shareholding of Alpha Development in the Company would be increased to approximately 62.90% of the reduced total number of issued Shares immediately after the exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate. In the opinion of the Directors, such increase in voting rights would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

9. NO REPURCHASE FROM CORE CONNECTED PERSON

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly repurchasing securities on the Stock Exchange from a "core connected person", that is, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective close associates, and a core connected person shall not knowingly sell his securities to the Company on the Stock Exchange. No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS

OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Share Option Scheme proposed to be approved and adopted by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at the AGM.

1. PURPOSE OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to incentivise and reward Participants who have contributed to the Group and to encourage Participants to work towards enhancing the value of the Company and its Shares for the benefit of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

2. WHO MAY JOIN

The Board may, at its discretion, invites Participants to take up Options at a price calculated in accordance with paragraph 4 below. An offer ("Offer") shall remain open for acceptance by the Participant concerned for a period of 28 days from the date of grant ("Date of Grant") provided that no such Offer shall be open for acceptance after the expiry of the Exercise Period (as defined below) or after the Share Option Scheme is terminated or after the Participant has ceased to be a Participant. An Offer is deemed to be accepted when the Company receives from the grantee ("Grantee") the offer letter signed by the Grantee specifying the number of Shares in respect of which the Offer is accepted, and a remittance to the Company of HK$1.00 as consideration for the grant of the Option. Such remittance is not refundable in any circumstances. The Offer shall specify the terms on which the Option is to be granted. Such terms may at the discretion of the Board, include, among other things, (i) the minimum period for which an Option must be held before it can be exercised; and/or (ii) a performance target that must be reached before the Option can be exercised in whole or in part; and (iii) any other terms, all of which may be imposed (or not imposed) either on a case-by-case basis or generally.

Any Offer may be accepted in respect of less than the number of Shares in respect of which it is offered provided that it is accepted in respect of a whole board lot for dealing in Shares on the Stock Exchange or an integral multiple thereof. To the extent that the Offer is not accepted within 28 days from the date on which the letter containing the Offer is delivered to that Participant in the manner indicated above, it shall be deemed to have been irrevocably declined.

No Offer shall be made to, nor shall any Offer be capable of acceptance by, any Participant at a time when the Participant would or might be prohibited from dealing in the Shares by the Listing Rules or by any other applicable rules, regulations or law.

The Directors may or may not set performance targets that must be achieved before an Option can be exercised, but no such performance targets that must be achieved are presently prescribed under the Share Option Scheme.

- 24 -

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS

OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The rules of the Share Option Scheme enable the Directors to determine the terms and conditions of any option based in each case on relevant factors as they consider appropriate. The Directors believe that the authority given to them under the Share Option Scheme to set any minimum holding period and/or performance targets as conditions in any Option granted and the requirement for a minimum exercise price as well as the selection criteria prescribed by the rules of the Share Option Scheme will serve to protect the value of the Company and any of its subsidiaries as well as to achieve the purpose of the Share Option Scheme.

3. GRANT OF OPTIONS TO CONNECTED PERSONS OR ANY OF THEIR ASSOCIATES

Any grant of Options to any Director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company, or any of their respective associates under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subject to the prior approval of the independent non-executive Directors (excluding independent non-executive Directors who are the proposed Grantees of the Options in question). Where any grant of Options to a substantial shareholder or an independent non-executive Director, or any of their respective associates, would result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all Options already granted and to be granted (including Options exercised, cancelled or outstanding) to such person in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant:

  1. representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the Shares in issue on the date of such grant; and
  2. having an aggregate value, based on the closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by the Stock Exchange on the Date of Grant, in excess of HK$5 million,

such further grant of Options shall be subject to prior approval by resolution of the Shareholders (voting by way of poll). The Company shall send a circular to the Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Grantee, his associates and all core connected persons of the Company shall abstain from voting in favour of the resolution at such general meeting of the Company.

- 25 -

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS

OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

4. EXERCISE PRICE

The exercise price ("Exercise Price") shall be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion but in any event shall not be less than the higher of:

  1. the closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by the Stock Exchange on the Date of Grant which must be a Business Day;
  2. the average closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by the Stock Exchange for the five Business Days immediately preceding the Date of Grant; and
  3. the nominal value of the Shares.

5. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES WHICH MAY BE ISSUED UPON EXERCISE OF ALL OPTIONS

  1. The maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company shall not, in the absence of Shareholders' approval, in aggregate exceed the Scheme Mandate Limit. Options lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme and (as the case may be) such other share option schemes of the Company will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit.
    The Company may renew the Scheme Mandate Limit at any time subject to prior Shareholders' approval but in any event, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company under the limit as refreshed must not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the Shareholders' approval of the renewed limit. Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the terms or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as renewed. The Company shall send a circular to the Shareholders in accordance with and containing such information as required under the Listing Rules.

APPENDIX III

SUMMARY OF THE PRINCIPAL TERMS

OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

  1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may grant Options beyond the Scheme Mandate Limit to Participants if:

The Company must send a circular to the Shareholders disclosing the identity of the Participant in question, the number and terms of the Options to be granted (and Options previously granted to such Participant) and such other information required under the Listing Rules. The number and terms (including the Exercise Price) of the Options to be granted must be fixed before the approval of the Shareholders and the date of the Board meeting proposing such further grant should be taken as the date of grant for the purpose of calculating the Exercise Price.
  4. At any time, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all Options which then have been granted and have yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company shall not in aggregate exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time.

Within 10 Business Days after receipt of the notice and the remittance of the full amount of the relevant aggregate Exercise Price and, where appropriate, receipt of the certificate of the auditors of the Company for the time being or the certificate from the independent financial adviser to the Company pursuant to paragraph 10, the Company shall accordingly allot and issue the relevant number of Shares to the Grantee (or, as the case may be, his personal representative(s)) credited as fully paid and issue to the Grantee (or, as the case may be, his personal representative(s)) share certificates in respect of the Shares so allotted.
